When PRs don't pay attention

It did actually make me laugh out loud.

Check out the first line of this press release, sent to PinkNews.co.uk, the UK's leading GAY news website:

"Whether you want to pull the birds, impress your mates or nail that interview, the Morphy Richards Male Grooming Guide will tell you how to go from messy caveman to hot metrosexual."

Get this - it includes tips on WASHING yourself and how to WASH and IRON your clothes.



It's hilarious - and make us laugh so much we will even tell you where to get your own copy - just call 0870 060 2614.

Though we have to say it pales into insignificance next to this gem sent to PinkNews.co.uk earlier this year:

"On behalf of the Antigua & Barbuda Tourist Office, we would like you to invite you to join us for a rum punch and some Antiguan nibbles with music by Dread & the Baldhead (featuring Antiguan cricketing legends Richie Richardson on guitar and Curtly Ambrose on bass) on Friday 22 June at the private members only club - Hedges & Butler - just off Regent Street, London

"This informal evening begins at 6.30pm and will be a great opportunity for all to catch up over a rum punch or two and enjoy the music."

Yea, that all sounds lovely - just one problem - homosexuality is illegal in Antigua & Barbuda.

Silly PR people.

This is why every PR agency can't afford not having a gay person in the house...A sort of GLBT strategist. That's actually going to be my new title: Social Media/GLBT Strategist.
